I couldn't put myself through college even if I tried. My tuition is simply too friggin high. I take 15 credit hours of classes, and work 12 hours a week, spend 1 to1 and a half hours total to commute to and from campus because I live at home to save money, so I'm pretty sure it's not because I'm lazy. It's just impossible to come up with 5800 a semester when you're earning 7.75 an hour
Thankfully, my parents are covering my tuition. God bless them. I repay them in my own little way by maintaining a high GPA. Hopefully after 2 more years (I came in with soph status due to 28 hours of AP Credit), I will graduate and save them a year's worth of tuition, and then curry some favors with a professor and get my grad school tuition waived.
